[TenTec] Spare MPSW01 or TN2219A

Last weekend I was troubleshooting the TX side of my 1208 transverter 
and found that the bias transistor Q14 was faulty. I tried to find a 
replacement in the 2 main electronic components shops in my area but I 
did not manage to find it. It seems that the original MPSW01 NPN 
transistor is not so common and also it is out of production. I wonder 
if perhaps some member of the list may have one of those transistors and 
would be willing to part with it. I would obviously pay the component as 
well as the shiping costs to Barcelona, Spain. While looking for an 
alternative I found that the Fairchild TN2219A has exactly the same 
features as the original used in the transverter. If nobody has a 
replacement transistor in the junkbox I would appreciate advice on where 
to get one.

Many thanks in advance for your kind help and best 72
